Mounting The Remote File System

First create the local directory you would like to access the remote files from.

mkdir /pathto/somedirectoryname

Then mount with sshfs.

sshfs user@ip.address:/pathtoshare /home/user/directory/to/share/to

If you are using key authorization such as when connecting to a remote server like an Amazon EC2 instance, you will need to specify the full path of the key file with the IdentityFile option. Setting the allow_other option will be required as well.
